I always say, it takes me longer to understand things but then I understand it better. I need to understand the entire system.

I feel like this is why I struggle to learn math. Too many things are x=y but why? "because that's the formula" but.. why?

no amount of explaining math to me would make me get it, but if you do like 5 example problems in front of me, I’ll genuinely get it. unfortunately this did not go over well in school lol

A lot of times I "see" the solution and reverse engineer it to try to explain the why. People get lost a lot, but they usually come to the same to answer eventually.

Pattern recognition and bottom up processing has been extremely helpful as a psychiatric practitioner..but explaining my reasoning for decisions to others can be tricky at times 😅

My problem is that "top down" just means "I decided who you are and what your intentions are and I'm going to treat you accordingly."

But it also leaves bottom up processors often less able to use previous scenarios to draw conclusions about the present. They often need literal verbiage rather than leaving things open to assumption.

Would this also be where someone might be *nosy* where they're really just trying to understand everything?

When you started to explain top down processing, I immediately said “that sounds like wildly inaccurate thinking and jumping to conclusions,” and then you said it 💀.

Usually your description of autistic behaviors and tendencies ring true for me, but this one feels more complicated, I’m going to have to sit on it for a while.

My pattern recognition is insane. I see it at lightening speed then spend so much time convincing people it is a pattern. Exhausting
